It is funny that you say that about the mom thing. Because after I heard it and was convinced that it was not anyone in the house, i was saying in my mind "touch me here if you want to talk to me." It did twice when I asked. I basically told it to keep passing through and move on because I did not know who it was and did not want it to stay. Usually for me, contact starts with the "spider" feeling and then moving to a tingling. When my husband grandmother was ill, I got the tingling feeling so much, that i thought i was having a stroke. I thought for a minute, then told her that if it was her, thank you and it was time for her to move on now. When I got home, he told me she had passed.
